Want to do more in schools but don't know where to start?

Powerful Practicals Training has been developed to support STEM Ambassadors who wish to play a more active role in inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. The training is suitable for new and experienced Ambassadors and focuses on developing and delivering short, easy hands on activities.

The session will be interactive with an emphasis on practical activities and will be led by experienced trainers from Graphic Science - experts in the field of training for public engagement.

During this training you will be helped to:

try out your own activities and get constructive feedback on how to improve them

develop your own STEM Ambassador activities and adapt them appropriately

try out exisiting STEM activities and adapt them to suit your expertise

Following on from the session, you will be able to benefit from support from Graphic Science to work with teachers and deliver your own activity in schools

There will be biscuits. And fun.

Please bring a practical activity that you've run in schools before or an idea for an activity you would like to try.

The STEM Ambassadors Programme enables teachers to make links from the curriculum to how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is practiced in the world of work, illuminating applications across a vast range of careers.
STEM Ambassadors are people from STEM backgrounds who volunteer as inspiring role models for young people. They can contribute both to regular lessons or participate in extra-curricular activities such as STEM Clubs, Careers Days and visits. STEM Ambassadors open the door to a whole new world for young people, helping them to see STEM subjects and careers with a fresh perspective and engage their interest and imagination in new ways.
Volunteering as a STEM Ambassador is your chance to promote your skills to young learners, actively encourage them to enjoy STEM subjects, and inform them about the unique career opportunities that are available to them.
By volunteering as an Ambassador, you could be opening up life-changing opportunities for many young people in your area. Anyone who has a desire to inspire children and young people in STEM subjects can become an Ambassador. The main qualities that all Ambassadors share are enthusiasm and commitment, along with a passion for what they do.
